How does Hilary Erickson's intricate color-coded system enhance children's workbook engagement?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. How can I help?

The content I have on homework and kids’ learning (like homework caddies, timers, and goal charts) doesn’t mention an intricate color‑coded system I personally use for workbooks, so I do not have a specific, named system to describe.

In general, though, color-coding can help kids:

• See sections and tasks more clearly (less overwhelming)
• Know what to do first (colors tied to priority)
• Stay organized and focused (visual cues instead of nagging)
• Feel more “ownership” and fun with their work

Can you tell me where you heard about my color‑coded system or what you’re picturing (tabs, highlighters, stickers, etc.) so I can give you more concrete ideas you can copy at home?
